C- 2010 -089 NHN Mine 20- Oct -2011 <br />PAR No. 2B Page 2 of 7 <br />revise the next -to -last sentence of this paragraph to refer to Pastureland... rather than <br />Grazingland. <br />c) In the third paragraph of the Grazingland section, the acreage of Grazingland- Sagebrush <br />(GL -SB) is given as 65.46 acres. Map 2.04.3 -1 gives an acreage of 65.41 for this land <br />use. Please review, and revise as appropriate, and also correct the relative percentage of <br />Grazingland that is represented by the GL -SB designation. <br />d) In the fourth paragraph of the Grazingland section (GL -SI), the second line refers to <br />"Chiles Draw." Map 2.04.7 -1 and the hydrology text refer to this drainage as "Glasier <br />Draw." Please revise the name used here, to be consistent with that used elsewhere in <br />the PAP, Please correct the relative percentage of Grazingland that the 28.19 acres of <br />GL -SI represents. <br />e) In the fifth Grazingland paragraph, please revise the relative percentage of the total <br />"Grazingland" land use represented by (GL- RECS). <br />f) The last paragraph of the Grazingland section refers to an "unnamed draw that crosses <br />the southeast corner. Elsewhere in the PAP, this is referred to as Nygren Draw. Please <br />revise the text here to reflect the same name. As with the preceding paragraphs, please <br />revise the relative proportions as appropriates. <br />14. The "Pastureland" land use category is described beginning on the bottom of page 5 of <br />Section 2.04.3 of the PAP: As with comments to the Grazingland section, above, the net <br />acreage of Pastureland in the text is not consistent with that shown on Map 2.04.3 -1. The <br />text gives 138.23 acres for Pastureland, whereas the map gives 208.25 acres. Assuming that <br />the map acreage is correct, and that the area described in the text as "GL -REC" should <br />actually be "PL -REC ", as shown on the map, the GL -REC paragraph will be moved to this <br />section; and the proportional acreages for each subcategory of Pastureland will need to be <br />recalculated. <br />15. Table 2.04.3 -1 on page 8 of Section 2.04.3 provides information on NRCS Land Capability <br />and Yields per Acre for various soil map units and crops. Please insert a column to the right <br />of the Soils Map Unit column which gives the name (Aquolls, Nyswonger, and Progresso) <br />for each of the three units listed. <br />16. In Table 2.04.3 -1, a Grass Hay yield of 4.5 tons /acre is given for neap units 10 and 81 & 82. <br />The footnote indicates that this is for non- irrigated conditions, which seems unlikely. Please <br />review the available NRCS information, to verify this value, or revise as appropriate_ <br />17. Table 2:04,3 -3, Montrose County Assessor's Abstract Codes, is split between two pages (19 <br />and 11) in the PAP. Please ensure that the entire table appears on one page, or repeat the <br />column headings on the second page. <br />18. In the first paragraph of the Previously Mined Lands subsection of Section 2.04.3 (pages 1:1 <br />and 12), the Navajo Mine is described as having been located to the east of County Road <br />27.00. It seems that the correct direction for the Navajo would be west, rather than east of <br />the county road. Please review, and revise if appropriate. <br />19. In the last paragraph on Page 12 of Section 2.04.3, the term GL -REC is used; as discussed in <br />previous items, the term PL -REC is likely intended. Please review and revise as <br />appropriate. <br />
